R.I.P. Carrie- you brought lots of joy to so many others. I'm so tired of these deaths. When Death comes for me I'm going to smack it right in the face! How dare Death be so d*mn greedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not know why this bothers me so very much....never did see the movie Star Wars. I am heartbroken over her death. So very, very sad, this is.
Oh,staro,you have to see it.. It will break your heart all over again..
I really should, yes. I just did not get into watching these big name movies. I did not see many of the these big name movies much. The only one I did love very much was Goonies.
I loved the Goonies too! Yes,there are some great moments in Star Wars with Carrie,hope you take a chance and rent it..she was only nineteen when she filmed it,but she was assertive,brash,brave but still vulnerable..
Mine too. I think I worried my kids--coming so soon after George Michael...it's too much.
She was a princess who never needed anyone to save her--she took matters into her own hands and controlled her own life. As a girl who never learned to kowtow (lol), she was a role model as Leia. As an adult, she remained a role model as herself because she was honest and straightforward, and did so much to destigmatize mental health issues by means of her very honesty.
Sucks about George Michael, sure...and we were just talking about him at work last week, about how much we dig that Faith song with it's Bo Diddley beat. But hearing about Carrie just hit me right upside the head and choked me up. It's like hearing your favorite aunt died or something.
I had just seen a rerun of Big Bang Theory where both she and James Earl Jones played themselves. Sheldon had stalked Jones to his favorite restaurant and ended up spending the evening keeping him company. They go by Fisher's house and Jones tells Sheldon to run when he rings the bell, cause "she's crazy."
He rings the bell, runs, she comes out with a bat...
"It's not funny anymore James!"
Kudos to them both for laughing With us.

If you have not yet seen "Wishful Drinking" I highly recommend it. I saw it when it was first on Tv.
I have never seen Star Wars so I wasn't familier with this actress but Rest in Peace.
More recently she has been known for her advocacy, both for mental health issues and specifically alcohol and drug abuse issues.
The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
I was never a fan of star wars but enjoyed her appearances on the UK chat show and comedy panel show scene - she was on one of the latter (8 out of 10 cats) Christmas specials which aired a few days before Christmas. She was always very frank and funny.
Star Wars sure but didn't you see her in Blues Brothers? She really tried to kill John Belushi in it...... And her mother, the amazing Debbie Reynolds, the day after.............. 2016 really sucked big time!
She was a star that shone with her own truly unique light.
Hi Nadine,
I can remember when WHMS came out - couldn't tell you how many times I've watched it.
I loved it then and I love it still.
Now CF has left the building, my other cinematic heroes of the 80's - William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Meryl Streep, Kevin Costner (hold the hilarity), Jeff Bridges - seem real fragile now.
This is wonderful. Apparently the family all agreed the appropriate urn for Carrie was a huge Prozac pill.
